I’ve just returned from my Museum Week-inspired visit to Dublin so I am kicking things off on the blog with this holiday-themed video by April Campbell. This “Caturday” video captures what Easter looks like from the point of view of two dwarf hamsters. The hamsters are sisters and they were given the peculiar names Dumptruck (tan fur) and Porkchop (grey fur). They are Campbell’s dwarf hamsters, Phodopus campbelli -- their scientific name bears no relation to their human companion that I am aware of. (Learn more about dwarf hamsters.)
In this sweet little video, we watch these tiny hamsters share their holiday preparations -- trying on their Easter costumes, hunting for Easter eggs and (of course) EATING!
